As was said on your earlier threads, the fact that you managed your own care during your long stay in prison has no doubt affected the outcome of your assessment.

in prison, your food is cooked and provided for you, you barely have to leave your cell and your toilet is next to your bed.. its probsbly better than what home help can do lol

(joking btw, im sure its a terrible place to be)
